Gran Museum del Mundo in Merida

 
We spent several hours in a wonderful newly opened treasure house of a Museum - the Gran Museo del Mundo in Merida.

 
The Museum started with pre human development and continued into modern day times.  The exhibits were wonderfully researched and displayed with many audio visual amenities.

 
Darrell looks at replicas of meteors that have struck the Yucatan causing much damage in pre-Columbian times.
